It's a real gem! Historically, it's one of the very few Polish films of the 60s that attempted to say something about the Jews' situation during the WW2. It was brave and partly because of that it became forbidden for over 20 years. And even after this time it has never gained popularity in Poland. There is a good reason for that - it's painful and this brutal honesty still bothers Polish audience.
